do universities take most of the money made from employees and let them have tiniest fraction of it while dividing the rest between the owners and such?

all of them

Hmm, i might have written my question slightly wrong, since i wanted to know what would the the proverbial last straw microsoft does to make someone switch away from windows, while they currently dont plan on switching 😅

But these are good answers too.

depression is essentially the negative thoughts in your head. personally i try to consider them like foreign thoughts. Though watching humanity destroy the planet, not care about the rise of facism, being unable to make even simplest of long term plans where it counts and most of all, not being able to do anything about it is making me feel like we probably deserve this shit. So I deal with it by trying to simply not care about anything at all beyond the things i can do something about and hope there is somekind of justice after death.

Though not caring and losing feelings might just be part of the damage depression is doing to me/ has done. Everyone is different.

But at least try considering that as long as you try doing the best you can, you dont deserve the shit you have to deal with. And that the best you can do can sometimes be the best you are capable of doing at the moment.

no need for pills, just plain old depression works too. Hell, it even makes you wish for end of the world

you cant brick computer just by installing operating system. That happens if bios breaks but mostly there is no reason to mess with that.

with anonymous internet there is at least a chance of having something decent. With id enforcement its like having someone looming over you ALL THE TIME. At that point might as well just not have internet at all.

My experience: its scourge and a scam.

If you live somewhere with less than millions of people, pool of viable matches is likely so small there is just no point. And if you dont want to pay money, its even more waste of your time.

I doubt its much better for females either, though they likely have opposite problem; have to pick the right one out of sea of shit and hope they dont accidentally choose someone who they really dont want to choose.

All in all, dating apps just damage natural partner finding system and should be banned.

For me, i really lucked out and found someone without having to use one. I did try several application for some time and its just like drinking saltwater when you need water. Definitely not worth using any of them, you just waste your time and might delude yourself that you might find someone by using them when you should instead try other things, thus actively preventing yourself from finding anyone.

games imo, but only if you are properly creative with what you do, otherwise you end up with comedy at best. Watched a streamer play some horror game with friend where if you make too much noise at microphone, you die. Biggest difficulty they had was they kept laughing too much at everything. At the end streamer also commented about the design of the game and how it would have been better if there had been for example, monsters that react to your sound differently; maybe some have to be yelled at to stay away or some are attracted to sound or whatever. But instead the game was just “if sound exceeds certain treshold you die and thats it”.

With games you can do so much more than any other media, since its possible for you to “be there” and have more at stake than just reading or watching things happen to someone else. But you have to be creative about the game and cant be lazy on the gameplay design, otherwise might as well just not bother and do some other genre.

there should be somekind of limit to how fast you can post to deter that, like only one post per random number of seconds. And each post posted would add even more random seconds on top of that for like 30min, that would make it really annoying to code automation for the mass posting while real users likely wouldnt even know its happening.

Or at least there should be something unpredictable that limits how fast you can do things.

should just reply “it is now :)” to asses who say something like that

You just cant rely on algorithms to show you anything good, they might but dont expect them to. You have to search for content yourself and also try blocking the shitcontent so you might find anything decent more easy. In a way, internet is kind of like post apocalypse wasteland now. You might find something, or even communities that have a lot of stuff, but a lot of it is just crap.

Maybe try archiving some of the things you like best in case it disappears one day. Also try connecting with other people and communities you find that are nice, we have only eachother against the corporations that just want to show us brainrot content.

I named mine “skynet”

it would allow me to try earning money or study without worrying about being punished for failing

maybe if there was somekind of trust based verification, kind of like how certifications work. You are issued a “certification” that you are decent enough and you can issue further ones and if you mess up too badly, yours might get revoked. It would probably be a terrible hassle though. Maybe it might work as supplementary verification system though.

low effort, low quality, for making money because of it. Might not have either low effort or quality “tag” at times, but then its replaced by being harmful, which can be there with them too. So things like what fastfood companies squeeze out, tiktok content, illegal drugs, temu trash.

So maybe also anything that actively exploits humans in some way for monetary gains (ai exploits and harms creators, fastfood and drugs exploit and harm body, tiktok trash exploits and harms mind, temu trash exploits western economy and harms environment).

so in short, shit that would make world better place with its absence

Ragnarök is quite cool, first there is huge battle between giants, gods and mortals. Then at the end when mostly all noteworthy characters are dead, surtur burns the whole mess down and sun turns black, stars fall and everything falls into boiling sea. And after all that world is reborn and there will be no more evil.
